CONFIRMATION OF A DIRECTOR

The General Meeting resolved to confirm Francesco Cesarini (Professor of Credit Institution Economics in the faculty of Banking Sciences at the Università Cattolica in Milan) as independent director; Prof. Cesarini had already been co-opted by the Board
at the meeting of January 25, 2007.

RENEWAL OF FUND FOR PURCHASE OF TREASURY SHARES

The General Meeting also approved the request of the Board of Directors to authorize a possible acquisition and sale of treasury shares, proposed in order to create an instrument that would, if absolutely necessary, permit market intervention to support the
liquidity of securities.

Agreeing to the proposal, the Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors:

a) to purchase treasury shares if necessary, both common and non-convertible savings, with a par value of Euro 0.52 each, for a maximum value of Euro 8.000.000.00, establishing that:

  • authorization to make the acquisitions, with one or more payments, shall be valid until the Meeting approves the financial statements of December 31, 2007 and no more than eighteen months after the date of the meeting resolution;
  • the maximum number of common and savings shares that can be purchased conforms to the limit set by Art. 2357 paragraph 3 of the Civil Code, that is 10% of corporate capital;
  • the Board of Directors is authorized to transfer the sum of Euro 8,000,000.00 to a special available reserve, to be withdrawn from the statutory reserves allocated in excess of the amounts required by law and the by-laws (including the pre-existing
    treasury share fund of the same amount);
  • any acquisitions of either common shares or non-convertible savings shares, may be made at a price that is no more than 20% less or greater than the average prices of reference, registered in the official market in the five sessions preceding each
    individual transaction, assuming that purchases within that range would meet the company's interests;
  • the shares must be purchased exclusively on the market, following the operating procedures established in the regulations of Borsa Italiana S.p.A., which do not permit the direct linking of proposals for purchase transactions with predetermined
    proposals for sales transactions

b) to proceed, exclusively through the market managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A., in selling all or part of any treasury shares held, with no time limit, at current Stock Exchange prices, and in all cases at prices no less than the average cost price for said
shares.

EXTENSION OF AUDITING ASSIGNMENT

Finally, the Meeting resolved to extend the auditing assignment to the company PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A., including fiscal 2009, 2010 and 2011, in compliance with the provisions of the "law on savings" and relative corrective decree (estimated
annual consideration comes to a total of Euro 114,000.00 for each fiscal year).

REAPPOINTMENT OF STEERING COMMITTEE

The Board of Directors, meeting at the end of the Meeting, resolved to reappoint the Steering Committee for fiscal 2007 (comprised of: Agostino Gavazzi, Guido Pozzoli, Nereo Dacci and Stefano Lado).
